Capt. David Howells said the suspects tried to flee the Whitehall home but were apprehended without incident or injury. No shots were fired during the capture, which took place about 7 p.m.

Howells gave no other details on the capture or how police knew the suspects were hiding in Whitehall.

Abdur-Rashid and Johnson eluded capture for more than 24 hours as police conducted an intensive manhunt using search dogs and a Lehigh Valley Hospital helicopter. Thursday afternoon, as a SWAT team broke into their Allentown apartment, they escaped through a window that exited onto a rooftop of 230 N. Church Street, police said. Video surveillance cameras positioned at key points alerted the pair to a police attack force wearing black combat outfits and carrying high-powered rifles, police said.

In the apartment, which police say is a crack house, police were confronted by three pit bulls. An officer was bitten by one of the dogs.

Two women in the apartment were taken to police headquarters for questioning. Police reported finding crack cocaine in the apartment.

Abdur-Rashid was scheduled to go on trial in January on previous drug charges. On March 1, according to court documents, Abdur-Rashid had a packet of cocaine, some marijuana and a digital scale when Allentown officers arrested him in the 300 block of Hamilton Street. A bailbondsman posted his $50,000 bail and Abdur-Rashid was scheduled for a Jan. 23 trial in Lehigh County Court.

Leroy Johnson, court records indicate, is accused of making cocaine sales to undercover police officers over about two months.

Police targeted the Church Street home after neighbors complained of drug dealing.
